Tom Friedman's column in the Sunday NYT shows just how badly out of
touch this guy has become!
Friedman's giddy praise of young Indian workers in the "call centers"
of Bangladore was OVER THE TOP!
The Times should rent Mr. Friedman a car, and let him drive around
American "fly-over-country" for a week or two!
I wish that Friedman would have the same enthusiasm for AMERICAN YOUTH has he apparently has for the youth of India!
Friedman's defense of the Iraq Quagmire and the Indian Jobs Debacle
are simply incredible.
Now, I don't criticize Friedman's RIGHT TO SPEAK, but rather I question the editorial "balance" on the Times Op-Ed page.
The Times already has Safire and Brooks on the conservative side of things.
Of course, Safire makes no sense whatsoever, and his columms are essentially unreadable.
And, whenever David Brooks tries to intellectualize his conservative views, he ends up sounding like a backdoor liberal! Go figrue!
FREIDMAN HAS BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR WAY TOO LONG!
HE DESPERATELY NEEDS A "GET ACQUAINTED" SESSION WITH THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE!
ABSENT THAT? GET SOMEONE ELSE TO FILL FRIEDMAN'S SPACE ON THE OP-ED
PAGE OF THE TIMES.
BALANCE MUST BE RESTORED.....AND FRIEDMAN'S VIEWS ARE THAT OF A TINY
MINORITY, THAT DON'T READ THE TIMES ANYWAY!
POSTSCRIPT: If I had a subscription to the Times I would cancel it!
